I would gladly leap from a high cliff for you. It will hurt, of course, but I will do it if it means you don't have to feel the pain.

I can't hold you suffocatingly tight. I can't clip your wings and claim you as mine forever. But I can leap for you, and if I can ease your pain through causing my own, I will do it in a heart beat.

But please know that I don't want to be away from you, down here at the bottom of the ravine. I will spend days and days lying here, but I don't want to.

I just want to be by your side.

The complexity of love...
